That's certainly a fair question. It's also one that I'm sure has been debated in newsrooms around the world. For that reason, I believe such a question deserves what I hope is a thoughtful and considerate answer.

A Mt. Sherman woman was injured Saturday in a one-vehicle crash on Spurlington Road.

According to a Taylor County Sheriff's Office report, Janice Smith, 50, of 1245 Despain Road was driving a 1989 Dodge pickup truck on Spurlington Road at about 6 p.m. when she ran off the road and struck a ditch.

She was transported to Taylor Regional Hospital where she was treated and released.

Through the mist and mythical creatures at Campbellsville High School's Hamilton Auditorium on Tuesday night, the crowd was treated to something a bit unusual, something they might have never seen before - a Bunraku puppet show.

The production was the second of this year's Central Kentucky Arts Series' season. And it was enjoyed by many.

The holiday we celebrate today is a time for us to reflect on all the ways we have been blessed. Hundreds of people put their thoughts to words in the Central Kentucky News-Journal's annual Thanksgiving Essay Contest.

The contest asked readers to think about how they have been blessed and what they're most thankful for in their lives.

I am thankful for the life that the Lord has blessed me with. I am thankful for my husband, my children, my parents, and my extended family and friends. I am thankful for my church family. I am thankful for my home, I am thankful that I have a job right now thru this difficult economic time. I am thankful to have transportation to get to and from work. I am thankful for food on the table. I am thankful for my health.

Every year at this time as I start to pen a psalm of Thanksgiving, I'm never quite sure where to begin or even how to approach you.

I have so little to lay at your feet. No grand deeds, no souls saved because of something I've said or done. Truth is, I'm feeling empty-handed and ashamed, aware of my unworthiness, yet confident of your great mercy.
